Crock-Pot Moroccan Chickpea and Chicken Stew

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...The days grow shorter at this time of year. We lose the light and the pressure of full calendars makes it difficult to accomplish all that must be done with grace and humor. At various times, I've found myself wishing for a clone or, at the very least, an evil twin to help with the cooking and shopping and "et cetera" that has become so much a part of our modern holiday season. While some will swear they've encountered my evil twin in the kitchen, they exaggerate. I certainly have never seen her and the clones all seem to have gone to a higher bidder. Even so, I've found some techniques that help make entertaining and fabulous holiday meals more easy to accomplish. The real trick is learning how to simplify whenever it is possible. That means that some everyday meals become faster and easier to prepare than might normally be the case. This recipe is an example of a weeknight meal that comes together in minutes. It uses standard pantry ingredients and while it was designed to simmer in a crock-pot, you can also cook it stovetop if that is more to your liking. I found the recipe in Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook and it makes a pleasant weeknight meal. If you are looking for a quick and easy addition to your menu rotation, grab a can opener and give this recipe a try. Here is how this Moroccan stew is made.

OMgosh, Mary! I made something very similar and will be blogging it soon! I didn't use peanut butter though, what an interesting layer of flavor that must have added! Gotta love crockpot meals in the wintter!

Hi! Beautiful blog and interesting recipes!!!I just launch an initiative from my blog to collect recipes of dishes that I will prepare by myself and that I'll publish on the blog. Who sends me any recipe is "advertised" (if you have a blog / page / account to be promoted) on facebook and twitter and obviously mentioned with links when the recipe is made and make public on the blog. If you want to send me something my address is costanza.saglio @ gmail.com and the initiative has the hashtag #VogliaDiFornelli (that in italian is "I feel like cooking")! Thank you for everything and for your wonderful blog!kissesC.___ http://thetraveleater.com

Just copied this to print. It looks fabulous and perfect timing too. Our house is on the market and you know how hard it is to keep the kitchen clean for showings at a moment's notice- simple dishes are the best.

While there have been reported sightings of my evil twin, I assure everyone that it is an urban legend! Therefore, I need help in the kitchen at times and this sounds like a recipe that I need to have bubbling away at sometime during the next few weeks!
